Maybe he figured it out with SSJ4. It would make sense when they gathered around him and gave him their energy again. He glowed red afterward.

Ah, the Alpha and the Omega. As all life was created from Chaos...so shall it be DESTROYED!!!

The wails of machines | Singing cold harmony | Shifting air upward | Entranced by the breeze | Light pours like blood | Into a cosmic sea | Of stars crystallized | In a frozen symphony

Well BoG likely isn't in the same continuity as GT however he can use SSJ3 in GT so if this is in the same continuity, he already figured out how to expand it.

My guess is that once Goku taps the godly power in his Super Saiyan form, he looses the ability to go beyond Super Saiyan (except for briefly going Super Saiyan God). If he uses the normal power of his Super Saiyan form however, he can go beyond Super Saiyan, but looses the power to use the godly power in the forms beyond Super Saiyan.

Both are aliens sent to Earth shortly after birth to escape the destruction of their homeworlds; both possess super-strength, flight, super-speed, heightened senses and the ability to cast energy blasts. But the crucial difference between them lies not only in how they view the world, but in how the world views them.

Superman is, and always has been, a symbol for truth, justice, and upstanding moral fortitude–a role model and leader as much as a fighter. The more down-to-earth Goku has no illusions about being responsible for maintaining social order, or for setting some kind of moral example for the entire world. Goku is simply a martial artist who’s devoted his life toward perfecting his fighting skills and other abilities. Though never shy about risking his life to save either one person or the entire world, he just doesn’t believe that the balance of the world rests in any way on his shoulders, and he has no need to shape any part of it in his image. Goku is an idealist, and believes that there is some good in everyone, but he is unconcerned with the big picture of the world…unless it has to do with some kind of fight. Politics, society, law and order don’t have much bearing on his life, but he’s a man who knows right from wrong.

Lying monsters are a real nuisance: They are much more cunning than others: They pose as humans even though they have no understanding of the human heart; they eat even though they’ve never experienced hunger; they study even though they have no interest in academics; they seek friendship even though they do not know how to love. If I were to encounter such monsters, I would likely be eaten by them… because in truth, I am that monster."

I'm looking forward to hearing the original soundtrack. Hopefully the music is better than Yamamoto's attempt at being 'modern Dragon Ball music'.

Not for a while. Most of the major details about the film have already been spoiled and until confirmation about international screenings there isn't much new to discuss, unless the full summary for the film has details Kei has yet to reveal.

Kei has said that Beers shows no visible damage even after the final fight with Goku, so presumably Vegeta doesn't damage him either. Interestingly, it seems that at the end of the movie Beers tells Whis that both Goku and Vegeta might become formidable foes before long.

!!!!!!!!!!???????????? That means Vegeta isn't that much weaker than Goku. Holy sh*t that's one massive power up o.0. Or if I'm reading too much into that, at the very least this confirms that Vegeta became stronger than Gohan since Birusu thinks nothing of Gohan.

Not necessarily. He took out Gohan before he could do anything, unlike Vegeta. But of course, it's still a possibility that Goku & Vegeta surpassed Gohan.

Oh I think quite necessarily. The fact that he said Goku and Vegeta may pose a considerable threat in the near future tells me both Vegeta and Goku are a lot stronger than Gohan.

It could be his aura. I doubt it has to do with his SSjG forum since GT was written years before BOG realistically speaking.

True...maybe I'm overreacting then, but it just irks me when one of the first replies they get is essentially a 'screw you' response, especially when what they're asking for technically already exists (even if you have to try a bit to get them all now).

I always thought it was possible for Vegeta or Goku to go above Gohan, but it would take a shit load of time (before the God form was introduced). I still don't understand how Vegeta gets a random rage boost (which was a Gohan only trait and Vegeta never had before) and magically multiplies his strength more than SSJ3 Goku. I thought the whole Kid Boo ending was Vegeta accepting Goku was #1 as he could never surpass him and accepted Goku as a friend. Then we have this random statement which can't make sense as Goku's God form was not enough to beat Bils (but he was close to him I hear) so he realistically could catch up to Bils eventually. For Vegeta its literally impossible for him to catch up to Bils without a god form as the god form transcends Vegetto's multiplier. No way with SSJ2 or 3 could he catch up. I have Goku and Gohan tied as my favourite characters and can admit when there surpassed when it makes sense. This just seems completely random.

Yeah I know what you mean and this is coming from a Vegeta fan. It does seem a bit random and ludicrous that Vegeta all of the sudden got so damn powerful but I guess we'll have to wait and see what sparked such a power up out of him. I guess a pure heart just gave Vegeta a f*** ton of power. Now now, I wouldn't say it's impossible for SSJ2 Vegeta to catch up to Birusu, it's just highly unlikely.
